St. Michael | Eppan

St. Michael | Eppan is the largest village in the municipality of Eppan on the Wine Road and its cultural and economic centre. The Überetsch architectural style characterises its face, recognisable by the numerous impressive residences and cultural monuments with their crenellated walls, oriels, double-arched windows or open staircases. Examples of this late Gothic architecture with influences from the Italian Renaissance are the Wohlgemuth manor house in Kalterer Street, the Talegg manor house in Maderneid Street or the Eppan cemetery.

The most famous excursion destinations include the Gleifchurch, which towers above St. Michael | Eppan, the St. Michael-Eppan winery with its fine wines and the Maria Rast Church, a romantic little chapel slightly outside the centre of the village.

In the summer months, the park of St. Michael | Eppan becomes the stage for various club festivals as well as regional and international music groups, and on Tuesdays from April to November, a weekly market enlivens the parking lot in front of the parish church of St. Michael | Eppan. Farmers offer their handmade products there, and a wide variety of clothing and items for everyday use can also be purchased.

The Long Wednesdays in July and August are a special highlight. Every Wednesday evening from 19:00 to 23:00, the center of St. Michael | Eppan is transformed into a lively promenade. With different themes each year, merchants and restaurateurs invite you to enjoy, store and linger. Musical performances and culinary delights ensure an unforgettable summer experience.

Another highlight of the year is the Advent season with the atmospheric EppanAdvent event in St. Michael | Eppan. A lovingly designed Christmas market awaits visitors in the festively decorated village center, which delights with its cozy atmosphere and Christmas flair.
